The PA Association for Sustainable Agriculture will hold another in its series of Soil Health Benchmarks Programs - Insights On Common Soil Health Webinar on March 3 from Noon to 2:00 p.m.
Through PASA's Soil Health Benchmark Study, they are discovering common soil health problems farmers are facing.
These soil health issues are happening for a variety of reasons that might include effects from severe weather, unintended consequences from production methods, or simply not having a practical way to implement effective soil-building strategies.
During this webinar, Franklin Egan, Education Director for PASA, will review several common soil health challenges and explore how farmers are working to fix them.
He will also explain how you can contribute to the Soil Health Benchmark Study as a community scientist and connect with a peer-community of farmers advancing the art and science of sustainable farming.
The landmark Soil Health Benchmark Study is the most diverse farmer-led soil science project in the nation. Currently, nearly 100 vegetable, row crop, and grazing farms are contributing to the project.
PASA is partnering with the Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and farmOS for this program.
